Good morning everyone, Tuesdays bring us to T where we gather over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's for friendships and a drink related photo in our post. Find link to join in my sidebar.
It's been an up and down week here, lovely weather mostly, but geez the boats were out in force again-huge ocean boats and even speed boats. Larry did get out fishing a couple times early mornings. We are in stress mode though with major issues happening on the dock redo, and today (Monday) we have much cooler weather and rain. and Larry's sister and family came by over the weekend, and caused my husband major stress-for him trying to be helpful--won't get into it-but sometimes nice to just write it down since we have no nearby friends to discuss things with.
Usually if I am a bit stressed, or down in the dumps I head to my craft room. This morning, I started stamping my Christmas cards for this year. I am using metallic inks and the last time I stamped with this ink it took forever to dry. So I am starting early this year. If you like to exchange cards let me know with your address. I have an email link in my sidebar.
Also have any of you worked with Encore metallic inks? After several hours the ink is still not dry. I looked online and couldn't find much information. One person ironed over her stampings to get it to dry. do you know if a hair dryer will work?? thanks
I have gotten more accomplished in the new area I am working on-large rocks moved up there, and still digging out dirt to use in the flower area. If I get the black soil out-which I can use-it lowers that area so I can get a couple of layers of rocks in. So far so good with my knees-I wear a leg brace on the worse knee, and only carried one large rock at a time-which is a pain-up the stairs and over. I got more seeds in last week that I ordered off of Ebay. I am thinking I am going to start most of the seeds in the bottle "greenhouses" early so they will be outdoors in the cold but I can see what is growing that way.
The other day I churned a batch of keto vanilla ice cream, that I then swirled in Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup as I layered it into the container. We really like this sugar free, egg free churned ice cream.
With the cooler weather I have brought out my French Press-I just love the coffee brew much better in these. One of my handwoven towels to keep the coffee warm
If you missed my cast iron recipe post (posted on late Fridays) link here-this week was biscuit recipes baked in cast iron.
The eagles are here most every day now, so nice to see them again. We don't see them after they start nesting in February til now.
Sunrise photos one morning over the weekend
Happy T and new week everyone
